HELP PLEASE - APS REWIND BACK TO ZERO WITH NEW FILM
Hi all
I can't believe I'm the only one who has this problem ... but despite over and hours searching on the web I can't find any other `occurences`?? My Konica Revio Z2 has developed a fault ... when loading a new film it winds to 25 then back to 0 / Zero (film goes to setting `3` / X. I've fitted a new battery and bought 2 new films (even tapped the film which I read somewhere)... no different still rewwinds back to 0 / Zero. I am a technical person and have tried every combination of battery in film in switch off switch on etc I can think of ... fault still there. I,ve clicked the little setting back to `1` / o on the film several times when trying different combinations of `fettling` (for want of a better word lol) Is it knackered or does soembody out there know of a fix PLEASE? Thanks So Much in Anticipation Graham |

it winds to 25 then back to 0 / Zero (film goes to setting `3` / X. Graham- There is so little traffic in the APS newsgroup, I thought I would at least be able to sympathize with you! As I understand it, some APS cameras have the ability to remove the film, insert a different roll, remove that, and re-insert the first roll so it winds back to the place where it was before being removed. (My Elph Jr. doesn't, as far as I know.) It would seem that your camera thinks the film was previously used, and rewinds it to where it thinks there is unused film. If your camera has a setup menu, I wonder if this is an optional setting that can be turned off and on? If so, you might try changing it to see if there might be a flipped bit that can be corrected by exercising the option. Along that line of reasoning, you might have to leave the battery out a little longer, but sometimes you can get the camera to return to original default settings. I have a couple of digital cameras that do that if I forget to put in another set of batteries while the first is being charged. After half an hour or so without a battery, they reset. You might contact the company and ask for advice. It might be a common problem, or they might be willing to tell you how to reset the camera's computer. Fred |
